Okay, I'll have to accept the label of "Foof Queen".  Well at least I have some "official" letters to put behind my name now.......

Why would I do that?  I'd like you to use your knowledge to assist new users, rather than call them trolls or put in a cryptic message about "it's been two weeks".  I don't care whether you're happy or sad about it.  I'm new here, and I didn't know that part of the list charter was to denigrate less-experienced admins rather than answer their question.
